The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer.

1. When I ask the distinguished LGBTQ activist and writer Cherie Moraga whether she uses Latinx to refer to herself, she tells me, ‘I worked too hard for the “a” in Latina to give it up! I refer to myself as Xicana.’

2. Of our accumulated ethnic population, only a third use Hispanic to identify themselves, a mere 14 percent use Latino, and less than 2 percent recognize Latinx.

3. They have done this, although gender in languages is grammatical, not sociological or sexual, and found in linguistic families throughout the world, from French to Russian to Japanese.

4. More recently, activists seeking to render our name gender neutral, out of respect for our LGBTQ members, have devised yet another name for us: Latinx.

The correct sequence is 4312.

Here is the step-by-step logical reasoning to arrive at this sequence:

Step 1: Identifying the opening sentence.
Sentence 4 serves as the best introductory sentence because it introduces the central theme of the paragraph: the creation of a new, gender-neutral term, "Latinx", by activists. It sets the stage for the subsequent discussion about this term.

Step 2: Establishing the link between sentence 4 and sentence 3.
Sentence 3 begins with the pronoun phrase "They have done this". In the context of the paragraph, "they" clearly refers back to the "activists" mentioned in sentence 4, and "done this" refers to their action of devising the name "Latinx". Sentence 3 elaborates on this action by pointing out a linguistic contradiction regarding grammatical gender. Therefore, 3 logically follows 4.

Step 3: Connecting sentence 3 and sentence 1.
After introducing the concept of "Latinx" and the rationale behind it in sentences 4 and 3, the paragraph shifts to a real-world perspective on its usage. Sentence 1 provides a specific example of an LGBTQ activist, Cherie Moraga, who personally rejects the term "Latinx" because she values the feminine "a" in "Latina". This provides a specific counterpoint to the general effort described in sentences 4 and 3.

Step 4: Concluding with sentence 2.
Finally, sentence 2 broadens the scope from the specific individual (Cherie Moraga in sentence 1) to the general population. It provides statistical data showing that despite the creation of the term "Latinx", very few people ("less than 2 percent") actually recognize or use it. This serves as a concluding thought that summarizes the overall lack of widespread acceptance for the new term, seamlessly concluding the paragraph.

Therefore, the coherent and logical sequence is 4312.
